  1. I never log out. Don't see any reason to. What's the point of constantly logging in/out? I don't see any. Whenever I go to this site I'm already logged in... because I never logged out! Same with Photobucket, email, etc.
  2. Exactly! Us MAC users are a very happy minority, while the PC world has to deal with viruses, crashes, and Microsoft... BTW... your comments on Macs not being as stable or powerful as PCs? HAH!!! Macs rule the graphics world, and with the size of graphics/video files, you'd never get very far if your computer didn't have the guts. I commonly work on files as large as 500 meg or more (yes, that's ONE graphic file, a large poster or something similar), and my Mac has never had any problem handling a "heavy load."
  3. How about this one? The answer: REAL!
  4. Seems to me that if the technology actually was sound, it would have been been picked up by other teams, and especially pushed by the tire manufacturers, who, let's face it, could sell MORE racing tires!) and not relegated to the F1 dustbin. For all the supposed "benefits" of the setup, what about the increased complexity (more parts to break during a race), the added weight (when you're counting speed to the 100th of a second every ounce counts), etc. Kind of reminds me of the Reeves "Octo Auto," which also didn't last... As we always hear, automotive technology is often discovered/tested/proven on the race course before it ever hits the consumer market. The fact that this fad came and went in a relative blink of an eye speaks volumes. Still, an interesting oddball footnote in racing history, and a pretty unique model.
  5. Ok... so what exactly were they trying to prove with the double set of front wheels? Cuz whatever it was, it sure didn't work, apparently.
  6. Hmmmm...didn't know that! Thanks for the info.
  7. Use the default skin (IP Board) until the tech guys can figure out the bugs in the other skins.
  8. The fence looks very realistic... how did you make it? Aluminum tube or rod for the borders? And what for the "mesh" part? I know some guys use the mesh bags that oranges come in, sprayed silver.
  9. Two easy solutions to viruses spread by emails: 1. DO NOT open suspicious emails or emails from senders you don't know/never heard of. 2. Better yet... get a MAC!
  10. Too bad NASCAR racecars don't look like this anymore!
  11. When did you ever knock out Sonny Liston?
  12. Very nicely done. But wouldn't an ambulance have some sort of markings? I've never heard of an unmarked ambulance!
  13. I thought Muhammad Ali was the greatest...
  14. Your mom's favorite car is a hearse??? Who's your mom... Elvira?
  15. Nice! I like the retro grill emblem, pretty cool. And every 2005+ Mustang looks better with the area between the taillights painted black. I did the same thing to my 1:1.
  16. Holy whatever!!!! That is awesome! It's unbelievable to think what this model started from. I love all the added detail, the interior is a knockout (as is everything else)...
  17. Maybe this is the man I gotta see about getting my 1/8 Superbird or Daytona...
  18. Some of the skins aren't working correctly. Gregg has calls in to the developers. In the meantime, use one of the skins that does work. (IP Board, the default skin, works ok).
  19. Count me in!
  20. Hmmmmmm... that is going to make it kind of tough to find...
  21. WOW! Beeeeyootiful! That color combo is spectacular, and your mods look perfect. Man, would I love to do one like that in 1/8 scale!
  22. Cheap brushes are a bad idea. Yeah, they're cheap... but they don't last, they don't hold a point, and they don't have the right "spring" to the bristles. I agree with Gregg... go to to an art supply store or a well-stocked hobby shop and get some good brushes. Red sable are really nice, and they will last for YEARS if you take care of them the rght way. Windsor and Newton is a very good brand, but they tend to be pricey. The Hobbytown USA nearest me has a nice selection of red sable brushes by "Royal Langnickel." They're made in China (what isn't!!!) but that's why they're less expensive. They come in dozens of sizes and shapes and cost 3 or 4 bucks apiece. Getting yourself a set of 3 or 4 good red sable brushes in various sizes is a good investment.
  23. I think your friend needs to send me one of those kits, too...
  24. Groan..... Is it next year already??? OK, that one was pretty easy, and you guys got it. It's REAL! Next ROM (and hopefully a harder one) coming MONDAY!
